Dear Parents and Sailors,

Welcome to the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club Junior Sailing Program, aka Camp Corinthian!

Our goal every summer is to instill a lifelong appreciation for sailing and yachting by

creating an environment that promotes sportsmanship, safety, and the joys of sailing.

Our parent manual provides valuable information on boat safety, summer fun, and the

events of each day. Please take the time to read it with your child. It is important that rules

and expectations are understood by everyone participating in our program. An agreement

must be signed by each parent and sailor prior to the first day of Camp Corinthian. The

sailors will be better prepared for this summer’s activities if they are aware of the

information in this manual.

If you have any questions or thoughts after reading this information, please contact me at

the phone number or email address below. If your call goes to voicemail during program

hours, it means I am assisting another sailor or on the water. Please leave a message and I

will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you!

I look forward to sharing a fantastic summer with both new and returning sailors!

Sincerely,

Cameron MacLaren

Sailing Director

BAHIA CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB

JUNIORS CODE OF ETHICS

Treat other persons and their property as you wish them to treat you and your

property.

Respect club property and the personal property of other sailors.

Regard the Racing Rules of Sailing as binding agreements, the spirit of which should

not be evaded or broken.

Be gracious in victory and defeat.

Be cooperative and respectful of instructors, club members, adults and peers.

Remember that your actions on and off the water reflect upon you, your family, your

instructor and your sailing organization, especially as a guest of another yacht club.

Sailing is a self-regulated sport. Know the rules and follow them. Never jeopardize

your integrity by abusing the privilege of sailing.

“You haven’t won the race, if in winning the race, you have lost the respect of your

competitors.”

- Paul Elvstrom (4-time Olympic Sailing Gold Medalist)

GENERAL INFORMATION

SAFETY AND GEAR

Safety is the first priority of Camp Corinthian. Juniors who do not follow the basic rules will

be subject to disciplinary action, which may include being sent home. All boats must have

the required equipment. Adequate footwear should be worn at all times. For CFJ Racing

class, additional gear items are required such as closed-toe water shoes/booties,

waterproof spray tops, and waterproof spray pants. Junior Mariners class participants are

also required to wear closed-toe, non-marking water shoes or booties. For sabots we

recommend a pair of aqua socks as they are lightweight and can be easily worn in the boat,

however bare feet in sabots is also appropriate. Footwear is essential any time on land.

The docks are wooden and splinters are plentiful. It is also strongly recommended that

sailors wear a hat or visor, sunglasses, bring a reusable water bottle, and of course apply

sunscreen every day. Think Safety First.

SUNSCREEN

Sunscreen is a necessity. Please apply waterproof sunscreen to your sailor or

Starfish before arriving to BCYC each day and pack (and label) some for re-

application during the day.

POOL / BEACH / BATH TOWELS

Towels will not be provided by BCYC. Please bring a towel each day to use after sailing,

swim time, visits to the beach or in the showers after a full day on the water.

LIFE JACKETS (PFD'S)

Each child is required to properly wear a US Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation

Device (PFD) at all times while on the docks and water. The jacket must be in good

condition and fit properly – too big is just as bad as too small. The orange "Mae West" type

is not appropriate for all day wear. A boat cushion is not acceptable. Mark the jacket with

the sailor’s name and sail number and bring this every day.

CLUB VESSELS & EXCURSIONS

Club vessels used for Camp Corinthian are all equipped with VHF radios and in full

compliance to all federal, state, and local regulations. Ocean practices and excursions are

limited to the CFJ Racing Program and special events only. Such special events require

8

permission slips and written float plans detailing those excursions. Conditions forecasts

may determine the status of departure. Use of private vessels for Camp Corinthian

excursions shall be verified by the Sailing Director and noted in float plan. All excursions

are left at the discretion of the Sailing Director.

ATTENDANCE

Prompt arrival and consistent attendance are important to the success of a good sailing

program. Juniors arriving late will delay the entire class and disrupt the carefully

scheduled rigging times. During scheduled class time the sailor is the responsibility of the

instructor and must remain with the class. At the end of class time, the sailor is dismissed

and becomes the responsibility of their parents. Please remember that on race days the

derigging times will vary according to wind conditions, race venue, and event schedules.

Classes will meet regardless of weather and attendance will be taken. If a sailor is

absent, ill, or will be arriving late, PLEASE notify the Junior Office.

DISCIPLINE

It is the intent of Camp Corinthian that all those involved will have a safe and enjoyable

summer. Our primary purpose is to provide quality instruction in a safe environment. To

do so we must maintain discipline and have compliance with the rules. Failure to comply

with the rules will result in the sailor being disciplined. Gross infractions may require

suspension or expulsion from the program. Suspensions and expulsions are at the

discretion of the Sailing Director and, if necessary, the Junior Sailing Committee.

Disciplinary action requiring suspension will include a meeting with the parent(s), the

Sailing Director and the class instructor to determine expectations upon return to the

Program. Sailors participating in Camp Corinthian that continue to have disciplinary

problems – three strikes – will be subject to expulsion. Such infractions will be submitted

to the Junior Sailing Committee at the discretion of the Sailing Director.

PARENT/SAILOR AGREEMENT

Every effort is made to acknowledge good behavior and sportsmanship with our Junior

Sailors. The sailors will have the opportunity to earn rewards for displays of good

behavior, sportsmanship and going above and beyond. Encourage your sailors to display

the true Corinthian spirit both at BCYC and away. To ensure that all our juniors are familiar

with the rules and what is expected, we ask that this manual be thoroughly reviewed with

your sailor. All sailors and parents enrolled in Camp Corinthian are required to sign an

agreement stating that they have reviewed and understand the rules and discipline

policies. This must be on file at BCYC before the sailor will be eligible to participate.

SWIM TEST

9

Camp Corinthian includes daily swimming activities in the Summer Program. All sailors,

regardless of age or number of years in the program, will be required to pass a swim test

on the first day of class. The swim test will be given in the bay, and sailors must be able to

swim a minimum of 25 yards and tread water for 5 minutes to be considered passing

(Starfish excluded). Lifejackets will also be tested for fit and buoyancy.

LIABILITY RELEASE & MEDICAL FORMS

A completed and signed copy of the BCYC liability and medical release forms must be on file

at BCYC before the sailor will be eligible to participate.

SABOT SPACES & LOCKER ASSIGNMENTS

Sabot storage and locker fees are billed from the accounting office, not the Juniors. To rent

a sabot space or locker, please visit our Marina Manager, Susie Broderick, at the front desk

to make arrangements. Any boat or equipment stored on BCYC property without prior

rental arrangements will be subject to storage fines.

LOST AND FOUND – “DOLLAR BOX”

All sailing equipment and personal belongings must be put away or taken home after each

day of the summer program. If sails, masts, gear bags, life jackets, etc. are left out on club

grounds after class is over, items will be held in the Lost and Found “Dollar Box” kept in the

Junior Room. The fee to retrieve any item from the Dollar Box is $1!

Please put your things away properly. We cannot keep track of

personal equipment, so please be responsible for your own gear.

Remember, label everything!

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP

Members and Non-Members of Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club (BCYC) are encouraged to park

in the club parking lot and walk their children to the junior area where their instructor will

meet them. For Starfish and Novice classes, parents are required to sign the Sign-in/Sign-

out sheet each day at drop-off and pickup times. After the child is signed in and class

begins, we ask that parents let the instructors take over.

LATE PICK-UP FEE

Pick up times are when the program is over for the day, and will vary by class. Parents

will be given a 10 minute grace period each day to get to Regular tardiness will result

in a late fee of $1 per minute.

DROP OFF POLICY

Only members may stay at the Club after they drop off their sailors or Starfish. Some

children have a hard time when a mom or dad is right there watching and often would

10

rather be with their own parent instead of the coaches. For this reason we request that

parents vacate the junior activities area while the program is in session. Your cooperation

is greatly appreciated.

SIGN IN AND SIGN OUT

All Novice Sailors and Starfish must be signed in and out every day of the program.

Sign-in books will be located at the picnic tables in the junior sailing area. Parents

will be responsible for their children before they sign in and after they sign out.

PARENT PARTICIPATION

Parents play a crucial role in any youth activity and sailing is no exception. Active

participation and communication is expected of every parent. All parents are required to

sign up for at least one committee. In order to continue our tradition of excellence here at

BCYC, we need your help!

JUNIOR SAILING COMMITTEE

The Junior Sailing Committee is a panel of parents working directly with the Sailing

Director, club membership, and club management. The committee supports the Junior

Sailing Department, advises where necessary, and serves to ensure the program is

performing and meeting the needs of our junior sailors in the best ways possible. The

Committee Chairman is George Hampton, and the committee is currently made up of six

dads with kids enrolled in our programs. The Chairman selects the committee members, so

if you are interested in getting more involved with this committee please contact George

Hampton.

BAKE SALE

Each Friday during the Burger Bash, the Junior Board sells goodies to raise money for the

various needs of the Junior Sailing Department. We are requesting donations in the form of

cookies, brownies, lemon bars, or your own specialty dessert of choice for us to sell at these

weekly events. A dozen or more homemade items would be greatly appreciated. Items for

the Bake Sale can be brought to the club any time on Fridays, but please deliver by 4:00 pm.

SUMMER AWARDS BANQUET / FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE

This is the biggest club event of the summer, and we will need a committee of parent

volunteers to make this a successful night. Tasks include room setup, decorations,

cleaning, polishing, and ordering and engraving class awards and perpetual

trophies that will be presented for the year. This event is also a fundraiser for the

Junior Sailing Department, which will need to be organized and planned ahead of

19

time.

RACE COMMITTEE

BCYC hosts several junior regattas throughout the summer. We will need volunteer

parents to serve on the Race Committee to run and score the races.

TRAVEL TEAM COMMITTEE

This committee helps organize our team’s participation in the out-of-town regattas. Travel

events require a great deal of coordination, including regatta entries and accommodations,

travel logistics, trailer loading and towing, providing on-the-water snacks and drinks for

the kids, sending out reminders to the group, etc.

END OF PROGRAM FIELD TRIP

The last day of Camp Corinthian is spent off-site for all of our Sabot and CFJ sailors. Our

Starfish stay at BCYC and participate in special events planned specifically

for them. This year’s field trip will be to the BIG AIR TRAMPOLINE PARK in

Laguna Hills. We are looking for parent chaperones to handle

transportation, food, and any other logistical needs. More information will

be made available as we get into the summer program.

PARENT OF THE DAY

The purpose of the Parent of the Day Program is designed to provide parental assistance

and supervision at the club during the daily lunchtime activities so instructors can take

their break. The primary responsibilities include general supervision of the sailors as they

are coming in from sailing, preparing for lunch, assist with serving lunch, lunch clean-up

and getting sailors ready to go back out for afternoon sailing. One parent for each sailor

enrolled is requested to volunteer for one shift during Camp Corinthian. Shifts will run

from 11:30am to 1:30pm. Please arrive at the club on time in order to familiarize yourself

with the junior areas, check in to see what needs to be done and assist with lunch set-up.

This is a great way to see how your sailor spends their day!

Please see the Parent of the Day handout for more information.

SAIL-A-THON / PIRATE DAY

20

The BCYC Sail-A-Thon is a fun way for our sailors to participate in raising funds for the

Junior Sailing Department. Sailors dressed as pirates are responsible for securing sponsors

who pledge a certain dollar amount for each lap they sail around the course. The Sail-A-

Thon course will be set up in the channel out in front of the yacht club, so spectating for

parents is great. This is a fun day with games and other on-the-water activities, including a

“Swim-a-Thon” for the Starfish. There is also a competition to see who can do the most

laps, with a perpetual trophy presented to the winner at the Summer Awards Banquet.
